Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009

Miscellaneous - Development contributions

101: Development contributions for assets managed by other parties

You could also call this:

"Paying for community things when someone else manages them"

Illustration for Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009

If you are developing a property, the Auckland Council can ask you for a development contribution under subpart 5 of Part 8 of the Local Government Act 2002. This means you might have to pay some money to help pay for things like reserves, network infrastructure, and community infrastructure. The Council can still ask you for this money even if someone else is managing these things.

The Council's power to ask for development contributions is not changed by any arrangements it has with other people or organisations to manage these assets.

This is just to make things clear.
